There is no clear pathway for success. And there will be a million things to do.

Not only are you not born knowing how to do any of them, but you may not have ‘business’ experience either. The idea you start with may need to change. The way you imagined it working may turn out to be impossible. It’s like having a giant jigsaw puzzle and none of the pieces fit together.

But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be that way!

In these 5 days of workshops, you’ll learn the most important steps in starting your business, including:

The process of creating and testing your product / service

How to validate a need for your product / service through market research

Understanding your finances and how to price your product or service

How to talk about what you do

Increasing your entrepreneurial confidence

How to stay focused and prioritise your next steps

Each day will include a 2 hour workshop from 11 am - 1.00 pm and 3 hours of ‘office’ hours from 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm with the presenters to talk through your specific challenges. Come along for all of it, or drop in and out as you see fit!
